I have purchased QuickPDF 8 but not installed it yet. Are there any issues I should be aware of when upgrading?

The biggest issue is version 8 is based on unicode strings as opposed to ANSI strings.They still have the ANSI call functions, but now verson 8 defaults to unicode. So you will ned to change your program in 1 of 2 ways:

1. Change your program to use unicode strings
2. Change your DLL calls and suffix each call with A. So Loadfromfile becomes LoadfromfileA.

There are many more changes but this is the biggest in my opinion.

What development environment are you using ?

If you are using C# or VB.NET then not much changes.  If you have Delphi then you will need to start using some WideStrings. 

Most people find the conversion pretty straightforward.
